FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

The trainers feature a water-resistant lining, which provides protection against splashes and light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged submersion or heavy rain.

What does S1P SRC certification mean?

S1P indicates specific safety features: anti-static properties, energy absorption in the heel, and penetration-resistant midsole. SRC means they have achieved the highest level of slip resistance on both ceramic and steel surfaces.

How long will the soles typically last?

Black Hammer offers a Six-Month Sole Commitment. If the soles break, wear out, or show defects within six months of purchase, they will be replaced. Durability beyond this commitment depends on usage and maintenance.

Can I wear these for non-work activities?

Yes, the lightweight design, comfortable insoles, and stylish appearance make them suitable for casual wear and light leisure activities where safety footwear is not strictly required.

How do I care for the suede finish?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive water. It is best to treat the suede regularly with a protective spray designed for suede footwear.

Are the composite toe caps heavy?

Composite toe caps are designed to be lighter than traditional steel toe caps, significantly reducing the overall weight of the shoe without compromising protection.

What is the benefit of the energy-resistant heel?

The energy-resistant heel absorbs impact during walking and movement, reducing the shock transmitted to your feet and legs. This helps to minimize fatigue during long working hours.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with the recommended type of work socks. The insoles and composite toe caps can also take some time to mold to your feet for a more comfortable fit.

Suede is getting dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

While rated SRC for slip resistance, performance can vary on extremely polished or contaminated surfaces. Ensure soles are clean. For challenging conditions, consider specialized footwear if needed.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the textile strips on the sides are not obstructed. If the insoles feel damp, remove them to air out. Consider cleaning the insoles if they have absorbed moisture or odor.
